+ Show Spoiler [Frequently Asked Questions] +
Q: Will these games be cast live?
A: We will be casting live, however we will be using replays. With all our casters being based in North America, we cannot feasibly cast live in game without casing lag. Also we want to present this at good times for English speaking fans.
Q: What is a "confirmed team"
A: This means at least one player from that team has expressed interest in playing and will be a participant. Some teams like Liquid will only be fielding a few players, and other teams like SlayerS will be trying to make it so their entire roster can play.
Q: I thought only GOM could run tournaments in Korea?
A: That is true in part. GOM has the broadcast rights in Korea but has been kind enough to allow these events. We are very thankful to GOM who also assisted us in reaching out to the teams!
Q: Why is "Korean Team X" not represented?
A: At this point invites have been sent out to every major Korean team. Some have yet to reply, but rest assured I think we will have every major Korean team involved, so make sure and pay attention as as more teams confirm I will add them to the OP.
Q: What will be the map pool?
A: This was a big source of debate and here is what we came up with. We realize that the Koreans play mainly on GSL maps for the GSL. However we don't want to totally leave our maps out. So it will be a combo of the two, that will likely be a bit more GSL map heavy.
Q: Will replays be released?
A: Yes! Some will in fact be released. They will be limited to uncasted games, but every week you will be able to get your hands on some very sick Korean replays!
Q: These casts are at bad time for Europe, what gives?
B: We are aware of this and are looking into a EU rebroadcast, I will let everyone know when I know more
Special thanks to; GOM TV, TorCH, Chae Jung Won, the ESV TV image team, and all our fans!
